I have just tried installing the 6.2.1 Cygwin package in Windows XP,
I get the same error.  (I also just updated the install instructions)

A number of important modules are not built properly. (e.g. g.region)

xganim did build ok, so you can try that out if you want Casey.


Before I get into that, any objections to adding the following extra
dependencies to setup.ini?
  (used in various scripts/; need Markus's help as it isn't in CVS)
netpbm
bc
wget
util-linux   # for more.exe; used as the pager for g.list.


gritty details of the broken Cygwin package:

at the Cywgin prompt:
$ startx
in the new xterm:
$ grass62 

# ... TclTk startup screen, select data dir and mapset, [Enter GRASS] ...

Starting GRASS ...
//usr/local/share/grassdata/spearfish60/user1/.gislock: No such host or network path
ERROR: /usr/local/grass-6.2.1/etc/lock:

I guess it doesn't like /usr/local/share/grassdata/. Pity, as this is a
multi-user machine in the student lab.

$ cp -r /usr/local/share/grassdata/ ~

$ grass62
# GUI Startup

# gis.m starts up but then crashes:
